This is my view on it: If you can have special schools in the public school system for pregnant 9-12 grade girls,(where they can receive child care, prenatal care, and the like at the actual school site), AND, if sex ed is included in a required health class, then you damn sure can give out birth control. Why teach these kids about protecting themselves by using condoms, if you don't give them the weapons to do so???
I personally believe in abstinence. BUT, as we all know, some of our younger brothers and sisters aren't trying to hear that. So instead of just screaming abstinence, let's tell them that if they AREN'T going to practice abstinence, WRAP IT UP!!!
